Wow! Great info. you've related, Di... I thank you sooo, sooo much! .

Though I've never tested positive (accurate-positive or false-positive) for anything other than what my docs Rx - and I do make sure that they cross-reference each other in the event that one might, somehow, make a slippage, I've some friends who also don't "use" but... being exposed to some, they ended up testing positive for stuff they said they've never used.

Maybe... high concentration of some things? latch on and linger?

After reading all the paperwork, and agreeing with the terms of my care, I was so fearful I'd lose my treatment providers after being exposed to weed that I discussed it with my doc before labs were even ordered. She knows: I already had to "work through" my own issue with taking Rx'd meds. Be darn'd if I am going to injest something for the heck of it.

I wish that one doc could just Rx all my meds. Because one cannot, I do make sure they "cc" each other on reports, lab results, etc.

No matter, though... excellent info. you've shared, Di.

I hope to avoid people in the future who determine they really could care less of how their choices can effect others' health care.


P.S.: In the terms of the "contract" I signed with one of my docs, it asks whether a patient either directly or indirectly uses, i.e., marijuana - for medicinal or recreational use. The doc doesn't ask to form a bias or base treatment on how one answers, but is very up-front about needing to know. When "trace" shows in lab results, therein, lies the prob. after affirming "no" to the questions.

I just know, I'd not do anything to ever put someone else's treatment at risk and possibly create a huge source of conflict.
